Referred to by some people as a "third eye piercing" or occasionally a "Unicorn piercing", the '''vertical bridge''' piercing sits vertically between the eyebrows (imagine an [[Eyebrow Piercing|eyebrow piercing]] right in the middle). It's often done using a [[Curved barbell|curved barbell]], but it really should be done with a [[Surface bar|surface bar]] in order to ensure good healing.
The '''vertical hood piercing''', one of the most common [[Female Genital Piercing|female genital piercings]], passes vertically through the [[Clitoral hood|clitoral hood]], generally through a single central hole. Many people erroneously refer to it as a "clit ring," but the piercing does not in fact pass through the [[Clitoris|clitoris]] itself, it passes only through the hood.

The ring or [[Barbell|barbell]] — usually a [[Curved barbell|curved barbell]]) — is meant both to decorate as well as rub the clitoris.

The vertical hood piercing, one of the most common female genital piercings, passes vertically through the clitoral hood, generally through a single central hole. Many people erroneously refer to it as a "clit ring," but the piercing does not in fact pass through the clitoris itself, it passes only through the hood.

The ring or barbell — usually a curved barbell) — is meant both to decorate as well as rub the clitoris. While most women enjoy this a great deal, some women find the constant stimulation a bit much to handle, while even others get used to the sensation. Naturally, this will vary from woman to woman.

Most piercers perform this piercing using a receiving tube placed under the hood, into which the needle is pushed from the top of the hood itself. The piercing heals very quickly and tends to be trouble-free, assuming the woman's anatomy allows it. Some women with excessively tight hoods may not be able to get this piercing. As a general rule, if a q-tip fits under your hood, you can get this piercing ("The Q-tip Test").
